What Causes Foam From Mouth And Nose Bleeding With Cold?

I was wondering if you have any ideas what may have happened to my cousin? He was a healthy 22 year old boy with no history of drug use. He has never had any health issues until 2 weeks ago when he suddenly had a seizure. Then over the past few days he was saying he felt like he had a bad cold. His dad had seen him at 6:30 am and he said he was going to call into work again because he felt sick still and was just going to stay in bed. At 11:30 when his dad got back home, he was in bed with a little foam coming out of his mouth and blood coming out of nose. They say it will be a couple months before they find out the results, but is there anything off hand that comes to mind? We are all just so distraught. Please help with any ideas. Thank you!
